New FocusX 3D Device: Excellent Choice for Measuring Hard-to-Reach Surfaces
Bruker Alicona recently introduced the FoxusX -- its newest addition to its optical 3D measurement technology. According to the company, FocusX is more versatile than any other measuring device in its class.
One Measuring Device, Countless Applications
"The aim with FocusX was to develop a system that solves customers' most important measurement problems," explains Urban Muraus, Managing Director of Bruker Alicona. "This relates to both the measurement tasks and the industries."
FocusX is perfect for measurements on complex and difficult-to-reach surfaces, as found in micro-precision manufacturing. Neither small radii nor acute angles pose a problem for the device. FocusX is the perfect partner for small tolerances.
"We are also aware of the importance of the 3D representation of components," Muraus continues, explaining the virtues of FocusX. With Real3D technology, the component is measured from different angles. As the name suggests, the different visualizations are merged into one 3D image.
Non-Contact Measurement
The big advantage of optical measurement over tactile technology is that it works without contact, whereas tactile systems must scan the components. So how does the display work from different angles if the sample is not touched? "High-precision rotation and tilting axes ensure that the different perspectives can be operated. The generated 3D data then enables the measurement of contour and shape, as well as deviations," continues Muraus.
ISO-Compliant Roughness Without Expert Knowledge
FocusX allows users to carry out ISO-compliant roughness measurements with just a few clicks. The roughness measurement is designed to be particularly user-friendly and easy to handle. A reliable, accurate, and precise roughness measurement can be carried out without any expert knowledge.
Faster Results
"The measurement technology must adapt to production and not the other way around," says Muraus, explaining why speed also plays a role.
Even in optical metrology, high-resolution representations of geometry must not take hours. That's why FocusX delivers millions of measuring points within seconds and offers the option of automating all measuring tasks. "This makes FocusX the fastest measuring device in its precision class," adds Muraus.
FocusX is now available to order. Delivery will start at the beginning of May.
